Attitudes towards firearms, health care, politics (where is the strong US equivalent of the NDP?), world affairs, and the military are just a few differences between your "average" Canadian and American. Not to mention our aggrieved minority are the Quebecois, and theirs is the blacks/hispanics, which is a huge difference as well.

Using Calgary as a comparison is useless as we are more American than the Americans; try going to Vancouver, Montreal or St. John's and tell me any of those cities has an American feel.
